I couldn't shut my brain down after arguing with Sera. My adrenaline pumped, my heart raced, and at four in the morning, I got up to shower after staring at the walls for as long as I could stand without going insane. Ferry was supposed to be here in an hour, and I hoped like hell the stream of water did more for me than trying to sleep had.
My eyes burned with fatigue, and my mood wasn't any better. I'd waffled between irate at Sera's text messages and her concern for my well-being. I wasn't Nate's size, but I wasn't scrawny, either. I'd put back on a good bit of weight in the last few months. The more I thought about the entire situation, the more pissed off I got. Sera wasn't protecting herself, so there was no logic in her believing she could or needed to protect me.
